Sericic acid is an antioxidant that serves as a weak PDE4A inhibitor, antiinflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial. Sericic acid, extracted from the Bombyx mori silkworm, is a naturally occurring protein that exhibits water solubility. With its inherent antibacterial characteristics and capacity to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation, sericic acid has garnered significant interest as a potential scaffold material for tissue engineering applications. It is hypothesized that sericic acid exerts its effects by binding to cellular membranes, inducing alterations in their structure, and subsequently modulating various cell signaling pathways. Furthermore, sericic acid has demonstrated interactions with enzymes and receptors, which may influence the expression of genes associated with cellular proliferation and differentiation.
